Ensenyant Horta, aprenent paisatge. Anàlisi dels discursos educatius sobre el paisatge de l'Horta i propostes de millora

2017

Al País Valencià existeixen espais agraris periurbans que conformen paisatges d'especial singularitat com ara l'Horta de València, que malgrat la seua importància està travessada per múltiples problemàtiques. Als centres d'educació secundària la majoria dels discursos sobre espai agrari que es transmeten des dels manuals escolars i el professorat s'hi apropen de manera taxonòmica, pobre i simplificadora, així com des d'un punt de vista únicament productivista, obviant tota la resta de dimensions des de les quals es pot analitzar un paisatge. Un ensenyament més convenient sobre els espais agraris a la comarca de l'Horta hauria d'estar íntimament lligat al medi local, així com contemplar tote…

2021

The year 2020 saw the centenary of the return of Pomerania to Poland, which regained access to the Baltic Sea. This event, along with many other issues connected with the establishment of the Polish state after the First World War, has been the subject of historians’ research for years. This also applies to history educators who analyse the contents of school textbooks. The author of this article, which is consistent with this research trend, decided to analyse dozens of the most popular textbooks for teaching history in secondary schools used by Polish pupils over the past 30 years, i.e. in the period from 1990 to 2020. The article primarily uses the philological and comparative methods. T…

2022

The vast majority oj historians view school history education as extremely important. They emphasise that it plays a key role not only in shaping young people s knowledge about the past, but also in defining the historical awareness of the whole ofsociety, because ofiten what students learn at school determines their lijelong knowledge about many historical issues. Unfortunately, awareness o f these obvious statements dpes not go hand in hand with respect for the achievements of history didactics. This is a scientific discipline in which one of the most important research areas is the analysis of school history textbooks, which are still basie sources of students’ knowledge about the past, …

L’enseignement de la civilisation française en Italie durant la période fasciste dans le discours préfaciel des manuels publiés entre 1923 et 1933

2020

In this article, we have chosen to study the prefaces of textbooks for the teaching of the French language published between 1923 and 1933 which mention, and this for the first time in Italy, in the title or the subtitle, the term Civilization. We analyze the way in which the authors of the textbooks for teaching the French language decided to present Civilization. We identify their objectives by taking into consideration the introductory texts of these manuals where we can capture the ‘declarations of intent’ of the authors. We highlight the main speeches that crisscross the prefaces of these manuals.

Reasoning and proving in Algebra. Examples from 8th grade school mathematics textbooks in Italy

2022

Some research studies concerning the didactics of Algebra discuss how learning to solve problems using symbolic algebraic language can be hard for students (Bohlmann et al., 2014; Palm, 2009). Students, in fact, have often difficulty to learn the ways in which the sym- bols should be manipulated to argue or to prove an assertion in order to reach a problem solu- tions. Although many studies conducted by mathematics educators discussed important contri- butions to this subject (e.g. Arzarello, Robutti & Bazzini, 2005; Boero, 2001; Carraher, Schliemann, Brizuela & Earnest, 2006; Lins & Kaput, 2004; Ursini & Trigueros, 2001), not many analysis were conducted on the role of the …

Analysis of Word Problems in Primary Education Mathematics Textbooks in Spain

2021

A textbook constitutes the hegemonic material of the educational institution. It acts as a mediator between the official curriculum and the educational practice. Given its potential influence in the classroom, this study analyzes the treatment of word problems included in the mathematics textbooks published by the publishing houses with the greatest diffusion in Spain at every primary education grade. Three variables were analyzed: their semantic structure, their degree of challenge, and their situational context. The results indicate that most of the problems included in textbooks are characterized by low complexity and variability regarding their semantic structure. They are also characte…
